Lol, Whats your rank? a few players from the atlanta go club are coming, and I think some of them might be the High dans. Any who unless your a dan you have a high chance of winning something, 3 dan + play even game nigiri, 2d-1 kyu play weaker as black and stronger take 0.5 komi, 2k-15k play with proper handicap, and 16k-30k play even game with nigiri.

Yeah, I'm mostly just joking. I'm only 1-2 kyu but I played in the Alabama state chess championships a few times back 10-12 years ago.

I do have the proud privilege of being Board 1 for the Alabama High School State Chess Champions in 2001.

Hi,

Can I ask, why Montgomery? Do you ever foresee a Go event being held in Huntsville?

Majority of the us holding it, and the members attending live in Montgomery, and it is the close to Atlanta and Birmingham.

The tournament went well. We had about 10 people, and got good reviews of the tournament. We are making a club of about 10-15 people, and I plan on holding another tournament in July.
